Plan Portfolio by %

With ‘Plan By %’ selected, the ‘Planned Value %’ column becomes editable. You can enter your desired allocation percentage for each position. The tool will automatically calculate the necessary trades to reach these targets.

Rebalancing

Once percentages are entered, Stock Rover highlights the required actions: a green row indicates shares should be added, while a red row indicates a reduction is needed. You can uncheck ‘Highlight Changes’ to remove this color-coding. The Planned Trade and Planned Cost columns will display the exact number of shares and the total dollar amount required for the adjustment.

Rebalancing

Once the quantities are entered, the tool highlights the changes. A green row indicates adding shares, and a red row indicates reducing them. The Planned Trade and Planned Cost columns will indicate the number of shares needed and the amount to trade to get there.

With ‘Plan By Value’ selected, the ‘Planned Value’ column becomes editable. You can enter the specific dollar amount you wish to hold for each position in your portfolio, as shown in the screenshot below.

Once your target values are entered, Stock Rover will highlight the necessary changes: a green row indicates you need to add shares to reach the target value, while a red row indicates you need to reduce shares. If you prefer to remove the row coloring, simply uncheck the ‘Highlight Changes’ box.
